About this episode

The episode discusses recent athletic performances, including a world record in the Monaco Diamond League and upcoming championship events.

Episode 73 is here, and while Eoin is off on a road trip, Ryan and Dean have plenty to get through. We break down an action-packed weekend of athletics, including the Monaco Diamond League, where a world record fell, Agnes Ngetich continued her incredible rise, Emmanuel Wanyonyi produced one of the performances of the year over 1000m, and we discuss what these results mean ahead of a huge championship season. We also cover the Morton Games in Ireland, Eliud Kipchoge's latest marathon appearance in Brazil, and Tom Samuel's decision to leave the NCAA and turn professional. Then it's all eyes on Project 222 . Josh Kerr has publicly declared his intention to attack Hicham El Guerrouj's iconic mile world record of 3:43.13, aiming to become the first man ever to run 222 seconds for the mile. We discuss just how realistic that target is, whether Yared Nuguse could spoil the party, and make our own predictions for what could be one of the most anticipated races of the season. As always, there's plenty of training chat, a few laughs along the way, and another edition of Double Trouble to round things off. Enjoy! If you enjoy the show, would like access to more behind the scenes chats on…
